We bought a lot of these for use at work. They were straightforward to configure (both using ADSL or Ethernet WAN) and extremely flexible.
The VPN features work well once you get your head round them. We've connected two routers together (using the VPN wizard), and also used the provided software to create a client -> router connection.
We had a few problems with reliability, but the new firmware updates seem to have sorted them. Make sure you upgrade the firmware from the Netgear website!
Initially I set this up as a straight replacement for my modem/router due to its features. This works really well and was incredibly easy to set up. Running trouble free for about 5 months. I then decided to take advantage of BT's business VOIP service, which is not able to run through this modem/router. According to Netgear's useless configuration instructions, this should be easy to set up. Not so, as it will not act as a simple wireless router sitting as a kind of switch/router behind my original BT router. So I have decided to get rid of both and upgrade to the BT 2700 router/wireless/VOIP. Thanks to BT for dishing that out free, not such a big thanks to Netgear as my day has nearly been a write-off trying to mess around with their router.
